Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that you are suffering from Bacterial throat infection also known as Strep throat and the symptoms of throat pain that is Pharyngitis and post nasal drip caused due to sinus infection seems to be a cause for it..

For confirmation consult an Otolaryngologist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like Thorat swab culture can help in diagnosis..

You can be advised a course of antibiotics like Augmentin, anti inflammatory painkillers like Ibuprofen, doing warm saline gargles, steam inhalation and using a humidifier in your room can help..
You can also suck throat lozenges, chew Vitamin C pellet and avoid spicy and chilled foods..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
